Dodge City holds a one-game lead over Hutchinson in the Jayhawk Conference standings. A Hutchinson victory means the Blue Dragons and Conquistadors share the conference title with a myriad of tie-breaking possibilities for the No. 1 seed in the upcoming Region 6 Tournament. The Conquistadors win the title outright with a win over the Dragons.

The Blue Dragons lost the first matchup with Dodge City 67-41 on January 18 in Dodge City. The Dragons were limited to a season-low 22.6 percent shooting with Hailey Jackson leading the way with 17 points. Shorna Preston had 17 points and 13 rebounds to lead Dodge City.

Jackson comes off a career-high 33-point performance in the Blue Dragons 58-50 win at Seward County on Saturday in Liberal. With her 16th point of the game, Jackson became the seventh Blue Dragon player in program history to reach 1,000 career points.

Jackson is seventh on the career scoring list with 1,018 points. She is four points away from joining the Blue Dragon single-season Top 10 list, now with 540 points this season.

Dodge City enters the game on a five-game winning streak by an average winning margin of 37.4 points. The Conquistadors defeated Coffeyville 74-50 on Saturday.

After the game, the seven Blue Dragons sophomores - Hailey Jackson, Kahlen Norris, Madi Denison, Jada Pleasant, Landon Forbes, Brynne Katcher and Zhane Singer - will be honored in a brief ceremony.
